Clear Creek’s Javier Pena Estrada competes in the 110 hurdles on May 16 at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood. The junior foreign exchange student had never run the hurdles until attempting them in practice last month. He placed 12th at this year’s 3A state track & field championships.
Exchange student Estrada tackles hurdles, makes state

LAKEWOOD — There were a lot of things that Javier Pena Estrada hadn’t done before the Spanish exchange student transferred into Clear Creek High School last year. Some of those included playing sports.

Yet in the past nine months he’s kicked for the CCHS’ football team, played a key reserve role on the boys basketball squad and ran track.
